Burt Cohen on what happened 30 years after his experience with Charles Gibson of ABC News after Gibson’s first on air newscast at WMAL ~

“I just thought of a funny story, there was a young newsman, came and did his first newscast on the air, he finished up and I said, ‘Man, you better find another line of work, you’re never going to amount to anything in this business.’ 30 years later, my retirement party, I get an email,’Dear Burt, thank you for your advice, I’m glad I didn’t listen to you. Good luck on your retirement. Charles Gibson, ABC News.'”

Tom Buckley on what to do with broadcast “stuff” that you find but can’t identify, or don’t know what to do with ~

“You would contact me, my email is eyeondc@gmail.com. Most of the material we get are from talents, sons and daughters, people around in the business. They have stuff maybe in the closet. ‘I don’t know what this is.’ . . . A lot of that. There’s people, there’s stuff all around.”

Larry O’Connor on reaching out to Andrew Breitbart to join his new website~

“And I reached out to him and said, ‘Listen, I’m not in TV or film, I’m in theater but I’m conservative and I have stories to tell,’ and he immediately responded and said, ‘Let’s see what you can write,’ and I did some writing for him and he published me right at the beginning . . . and then I started doing this live stream radio show on the internet that was on the Breitbart sites and that got a lot of attention and I ended up getting a lot of high profile guests on my show.”
